About like plastisol, 125-280. Depending on detail, and as low as it will allow.
Nothing like ripping through a huge white on black order with 1 fast stroke and
no flash.

I'm about there too. Typically 160 for general printing and up to 230 or so for higher detail. This is for a "top" white, not underbasing.

Murakami 225 S is another for higher detail that we like for discharge/WB.  Thin threads, ink passes through more easily.
